Man starts fight over last falafel, gets a shattered shin in Fremont

A 36-year-old man suffered a shattered shin early Sunday morning in Fremont after reportedly starting a fight over the last falafel at a restaurant, according to Seattle police.

Officers responded to a call at Sinbad Express about 2:30 a.m. in the 3500 block of Fremont Place North and found the 36-year-old man sitting in a taxi cab outside the restaurant holding his injured shin, reports say.

Police investigated what happened and learned that the man reportedly entered the restaurant and insulted a group of people after he heard they had ordered the last falafel at the shop, according to Seattle police reports.

The group told the man to leave, but the man slapped one of the men in the group and punched another in the face, causing a cut on his head, reports say. Two men tackled the assailant in the shop, causing him to break one of his legs. Two cooks broke up the fight and the attacker limped out of the restaurant and into a cab.
